I was born and raised in Michigan (just look for the mitten-shaped state on the map). I’ve lived here most of my life other than the few years I spent in the U.S. Army. At which time I got a chance to experience MO, KS, SC, and CA.

I work full time for the court system and in my free time I write YA stories. Pretty much any genre within the YA realm is game for me, but my favorites are fantasy, urban fantasy, paranormal romance, thrillers, light sci-fi, and some time travel.

I also have a big family–I like to consider us the modern day Brady Bunch. When my hubby and I met and got married, he had 3 children from a previous marriage, I had 2 and we have 1 together. It’s a lot of fun though.

And I can’t forget my other family members–yep, we’ve got some pets: 4 dogs, 3 cats, and 1 turtle. Everyone in the family has one…I won’t bore you all with their names (unless you really want to know). Okay, you talked me into it! Jack, Pearl, Grr…(yes that’s my dog’s name), Leia, Callie, Mooshoo, Grouchy, and Sorbert. Other than writing some of my other hobbies include: reading (mostly YA of course), singing, swimming, football, soccer, running, camping, sledding, church, hanging with my kids, and traveling.

I belong to a fabulous writing group called YA Fiction Fantatics (YAFF) and you guessed it we all write YA!

I found your book on smashwords and read the sample. I’ll have to get my Sony ereader working before, but I’ll be checking your book out. Loved the style, at least with what I read. Keep writing and hopefully I can find an easy way to follow you (I’m still not too good w/ this whole blogging thing).

Just finished reading the Cinderella complex and I quite enjoyed it! I started it last night and couldnt put it done till i finished it so it was a late night for me. Lol. Will there be a follow up or sequel or series??!! Thanks 🙂

Leah,
Aw, thanks so much for stopping in! And I’m SO glad you enjoyed the book. It was a lot of fun to write. This is planned as part of a series. I’ve got a few books that I’m under contract for write now that I have to finish first, but once I do, I plan to go back and finish off the Fairy Godmother Files series. There are tentatively 3 books in the series. Thanks again for stopping by!

I have yet to read one of your books. The Winter People looks interesting, I will have to get that one and ask for your signature.
Good luck Sweets, You are truly a story within yourself . Stay happy, healthy and safe ok?

Hey, I’ve just discovered one of my new favourite authors. I picked up the Winter People on a whim and it has honestly become probably my new favourite book. I feel like it was literally made for me! It encompasses everything I love and everything I could ever want in a book. I love all the magic, mystery, romance and even a bit of horror thrown in there. Will definitely be picking up more of your books! You’ve honestly made me so happy just reading this one book. I had a roller coaster of emotions and adventure through it. Just wanted to let you know you are doing a fantastic job and I literally wish this was made into a movie or something but for now, having this fairytale run through my head is enough for me.
